Using ShareASale's server-side tracking offers several advantages:
Data Accuracy: Server-side tracking sends data directly from the server, reducing data loss caused by browser restrictions such as ad blockers and privacy settings, thus improving data accuracy.
Privacy Compliance: With increasing privacy regulations, server-side tracking better protects user privacy as it doesn't rely on browser cookies. This helps in complying with regulations like GDPR.
Bypass Ad Blockers: Many users use ad blockers that can prevent traditional browser-side tracking scripts. Server-side tracking is not affected by these tools, ensuring the completeness of tracking data.
Improved Performance: By reducing the need for browser-side script execution, server-side tracking can enhance page load speed and overall user experience.
To configure SAS server-side tracking is also very easy, first open the Conversion Feed,
Select the "Purchase" event.
Select the destination SAS account and save. If you don't have a connected SAS account, connect one first.
